Despite decades long development, no natural or engineered organism has been isolated that can produce commodity products at the rates and yields required by industry via direct microbial conversion. However, new genomic ...

Nitric oxide synthase-like activity contributes to the production of nitric oxide in plants, which controls
plant responses to stress. This study investigates if changes in ascorbate peroxidase enzymatic
activity and ...

Hydrogen as an energy carrier has the potential to decarbonize the energy sector. This work presents the application of a palladium-silver (PdeAg) membrane-based reactor. The membrane reactor which is made from PdeAg film ...

Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius is a Grampositive, thermophilic bacterium capable of ethanologenic fermentation of both C5 and C6 sugars and may have possible use for commercial bioethanol production [Tang et al., 2009; ...

BACKGROUND: Autism (MIM209850) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a triad of impairments, namely impairment in social interaction, impaired communication skills, and restrictive and repetitive behavior. A ...

Several abiotic factors cause molecular damage to plants either directly or through the accumulation of reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). We investigated if application of nitric oxide (NO) donor ...

Tremendous progress in plant proteomics driven by mass spectrometry (MS) techniques has been made since 2000 when few proteomics reports were published and plant proteomics was in its infancy. These achievements include ...

The prokaryotic virus community is represented at the International
Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) by the
Bacterial and Archaeal Viruses Subcommittee. Since our
last report [5], the committee composition has ...

The International Plant Proteomics Organization (INPPO) is a non-profit organization whose members are scientists involved or interested in plant proteomics. Since the publication of the first INPPO highlights in 2012, ...

We report on the one-pot synthesis of InP/ZnSe quantum dots (QDs) using a precursor-based colloidal synthesis in a noncoordinating solvent environment. The structural and optical studies were carried out on the as-prepared ...

The current view of virus diversity in terrestrial hot springs is limited to a few sampling
sites. To expand our current understanding of hot spring viral community diversity, this study
aimed to investigate the first ...

Unlike conventional physical and chemical methods, the biogenic synthesis of gold
nanoparticles (GNPs) is considered a green and non-toxic approach to produce biocompatible
GNPs that can be utilized in various biomedical ...

It was assumed that salt-induced redox changes affect amino acid metabolism in maize (Zea mays L.),
and
this inﬂuence may be modiﬁed by NO. The applied NaCl treatment reduced the fresh weight of shoots
and roots. This ...

Extensive substitution and undeclared species have been recently detected in meat products in South
Africa, Europe and Asia. Here we review the methodologies utilized in the identification of species in red
meat products ...

Population structure was investigated in 990 Botswana individuals according to ethno-linguistics, Bantu and Khoisan, and geography (the nine administrative districts) using the Identifiler autosomal microsatellite markers. ...
